Enhanced education experience @ NUS and SUTD for Engineering students

SP has partnered the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) to provide SP students from the School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) with early exposure to university-level engineering modules. Students take these modules as SP electives and experience university campus life during their final polytechnic semester. This will count towards meeting their graduation requirements in SP. In addition, credits earned will be recognised by the relevant university when they choose to pursue a degree with them. SP students under these programmes can potentially reduce the time taken to complete relevant degrees offered by NUS and SUTD, hence giving them a head-start on employment and career opportunities.

Are you interested to develop medical devices and equipment such as artificial hearts or prosthetics that are used by doctors or medical professionals?

You might want to consider the NEW Biomedical Engineering specialisation offered under the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.

(Note: The Diploma in Bioengineering has been merged into the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering)

DIPLOMA IN

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING(DME – S91)

This is Singapore’s first Engineering course, offered since 1958, and it has remained the island’s de facto first-choice Mechanical Engineering diploma course.

Regardless of your specialisation, we are also constantly reinventing to align with international trends and accreditations. You will not only develop a firm foundation in a wide range of Engineering disciplines but also acquire basic skills in Business and Humanities. In your final year, you will be streamed in one of seven technology options. Many graduates have built successful careers in Engineering. Some are leading large corporations or have started their own business.

From 2020, the Diploma in Mechanical Engineering will be offering Biomedical Engineering as a *new* technology specialisation. Consider this specialisation if you are interested to collaborate with engineers, doctors and scientists in the rapidly advancing biomedical sciences industry to churn out innovative equipment and procedures!

DIPLOMA IN

MECHATRONICS & ROBOTICS(DMRO – S73)

SP launched Singapore’s first Mechatronics diploma course in 1991 to meet the niche demand for cross disciplinary Engineers in precision engineering work.

With the emergence of Advanced Manufacturing and Industry 4.0, the course has since diversified into the fields of collaborative robotics, autonomous electric vehicles and smart automation equipping our graduates with the relevant skillsets and mind-set to meet challenges of the future. Training has gone beyond the core areas of Mechanical Engineering and Electronics to include a plethora of skills in IT, programming, analytics and design.

As a DMRO student, you will have the opportunity to work with renowned industry partners during the Internship Programme/Project and participate in competitions locally and internationally.

In DMRO, we turn dreams and aspirations into reality!34

FURTHER STUDIESDMRO graduates gain direct entry into the second year of related Engineering degree courses at local and overseas universities such as:

• Nanyang Technological University• National University of Singapore• Singapore University of Technology & Design• Singapore Institute of Technology - Newcastle University - Technische Universität München - University of Glasgow - DigiPen Institute of Technology

CAREER OPTIONS• Assistant Automation Engineer• Assistant Design Engineer• Assistant Electromechanical Engineer• Assistant Mechanical Engineer• Assistant Mechatronics Engineer• Assistant Robotics Engineer• Assistant System Development Engineer

I was always interested in robots and my interest deepened in secondary school as I had hands-on experience building and programming them.

When it was time to choose a course after my ‘O’ levels, I knew that Singapore Polytechnic’s DMRO course was my first choice.

Over the years, the practical and relevant modules of the DMRO course equipped me with engineering fundamentals and hands-on capabilities. DMRO is a unique course that bridges Mechanical, Electrical & Electronics Engineering with Programming to design and build intelligent systems.

My most memorable experience was my six-month internship at SIMTech’s robotics branch where I developed an app to control a cleaning robot. Even though I had no prior knowledge in developing an app, I was able to build upon the programming skills I picked up in the course. It was a great sense of achievement to develop a working prototype and the experience helped to develop my technical abilities and soft skills such as communication and teamwork. I know that I am now ready to take on further studies or a career as a robotics researcher.
